Oh my bad......of course they are so busy trying to demonize Trump they have no time to go out and actually do something for the people in this time of a National Emergency.....quite unlike the hollywood stars during WWII
Good to see Elton John step up to the plate as well as some other celebrities mainly in the music industry or sports stars.
With the situation and economy looking more dire with each passing day during the coronavirus outbreak, celebrities are offering help.

WHEN WILL TRUMP ADDRESS CONSEQUENCES FOR CHINA...THIS WAS CRIMINAL
WHY ARE COUNTRIES ACCEPTING ANY HELP FROM CHINA
AM I STUCK IN THE ******* TWILIGHT ZONE
Furthermore, for the same reasons Iran is sanctioned
and we don't want them having nuclear weapons and want to impede their nuclear capabilities
the same should go for China...China should not be able to have biotechnology labs
and be allowed to handle ANY pathogens, least of all, the most dangerous pathogens
This was an act of war...Trump should announce we are leaving the UN
there will be no further payments to WHO, imports/exports cease with China
no US based companies manufacturing their products in China are allowed in our market
no Chinese companies manufacturing their products outside of China are allowed in our market
Trump was clear when he was elected...AMERICA FIRST
He was threatened by UN SG in 2017 if Trump reduced UN funds.....
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the Trump administration on Tuesday that if the United States disengages from many issues confronting the international community it will be replaced — and that won’t be good for America or for the world.
Guterres made clear to reporters at his first press conference here since taking the reins of the United Nations on Jan. 1 that proposed cuts in U.S. funding for the U.N. would be disastrous and create “an unsolvable problem to the management of the U.N.”
UN chief: US will be replaced if it disengages from world
Well, guess what, he did
The United States remains the largest donor to the United Nations, contributing more than $10 billion in 2017, roughly one fifth of the body’s collective budget. President Donald J. Trump, however, has raised questions about how much the United States will continue to contribute.
If the Trump administration is able to follow through on his proposed cuts to foreign aid spending, the United Nations will likely undergo significant changes.
The U.S. government contributed more than $10 billion to the United Nations in 2017, the most recent fiscal year with full data available. About $7 billion of this total was voluntary and $3.5 billion was assessed. This represents roughly one-fifth of the $50 billion the United States spends annually on
foreign aid,
the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, which previously depended on the United States for about a third of its budget, said it would be forced to cut 250 jobs in 2018 after the Trump administration eliminated over $300 million in funding. In a
September 2018 letter [PDF],
more than thirty U.S. senators warned the administration that the cuts could prevent 140,000 people from receiving food aid and more than 70,000 people from accessing clean water, though European and Gulf donors have helped to
make up for the shortfall.
BUT WE DONT HAVE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF VENTILATORS OR MASKS
TO DEAL WITH A PANDEMIC RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
The Trump administration signaled early on its desire to pare down payments to the United Nations, targeting peacekeeping for initial cuts.
In his 2018 budget proposal, President Trump requested cutting more than half of U.S. funding for UN programs, including all contributions to climate change programs. While Congress largely rejected the proposed cuts, it
agreed to enforce a congressionally mandated cap on U.S. contributions to the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) that had been waived since 2001. The measure reduced U.S. contributions from 28 to
25 percent of the DPKO’s budget, which could amount to a more than $200 million decrease in 2019.
As Washington scales back its contributions, China has been expanding its influence, committing to a $1 billion UN peacekeeping fund over the next decade.
President Trump’s 2019 budget proposal would take a knife to several UN bodies, slashing foreign aid contributions and zeroing out the United States’ voluntary payments to many UN entities, including UNICEF and UNDP. The administration has also voiced support for limiting aid to member states who vote against U.S. interests at the United Nations. But it is unclear how many of the president’s proposals will survive the federal budget process.
Funding the United Nations: What Impact Do U.S. Contributions Have on UN Agencies and Programs?
Many UN agencies, programs, and missions receive crucial funding from the United States.
President Trump’s budget cuts could jeopardize their work.

Guterres says at least three trillion US dollars, around 10 percent of the world’s GDP,
is needed to slow the spread of the coronavirus for vulnerable countries in the Global South.
According to figures published by the African Union, there are 3,924 cases of Covid-19 in Africa
and 117 recorded deaths across 46 countries.
IMPOSSIBLE
“Africa is in urgent need of test kits, masks, ventilators, protective suits for health workers," said Guterres. "We can still prevent the worst in Africa but without a massive mobilisation we will have millions and millions of people contaminated, which means millions of deaths,” adding that Africa’s booming youth population will not be spared.
Covid-19 could kill millions in Africa without immediate action:
